Sodium Gluconate

Sodium gluconate is a sodium salt of a polyhydroxycarboxylic acid—also known as sodium pentahydroxycarboxylate—with the molecular formula C6H11O7Na and a molecular weight of 218.14. It appears as a white or yellowish crystalline solid or powder; it is readily soluble in water, slightly soluble in ethanol, and insoluble in diethyl ether.

This product demonstrates excellent performance as a concrete retarder and is widely utilized in the construction industry, steel surface cleaning, water stabilization, and specialized glass bottle cleaning agents.

Packaging and Storage:

1. Powdered products are packaged in PVC woven bags lined with a plastic inner layer; the net weight per bag is 25 ± 0.1 kg. Alternative packaging methods are also available upon customer request.

2. Powdered products should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated warehouse. If the product absorbs moisture and clumps together, it may still be used after crushing or dissolving in water; this does not affect its performance.
